Should you find yourself perusing this, it’s probable that you are in need of support with Strands, the New York Times‘ advanced word-search challenge.
Strands presents players with a distinctive variation on the classic word search concept. Words may be constructed from adjoining letters in any orientation, including diagonal arrangements, and can alter direction, forming unexpected patterns. Every letter within the grid contributes to a solution. A theme always links each solution, accompanied by the “spangram,” a unique word or phrase that summarizes the day’s theme and stretches across the grid either horizontally or vertically.
